Safari Raglan Tee and Dress

The Safari Raglan Tee and Dress is a comfortable fitting and versatile pattern. It can be used as an every day basic or custom designed for a one of a kind raglan. Choose from hemmed short or long sleeves, or for a raglan with a difference use your creativity to add some puppet sleeves that your children will adore. Contrast patch pockets add additional detail.

This raglan is perfect all year round for both girls and boys. It is suitable for a confident beginner. It provides a great introduction to sewing with knit fabrics. The Safari Raglan pattern covers a wide range of sizes - from 6-12 months to 12 years.

The pattern includes the following options:
- Tee or Dress
- Short or long sleeves with regular hem.
- Puppet sleeve option on the long sleeves
- Optional chest pocket on the tee, front patch pockets on the dress.

The pattern shows you how to make the basic shape of a puppet sleeve, but the creative part is up to you - let your imagination run wild.

The hood and kangaroo pocket from the Rowan Tee could also be added if you own that pattern.

The Safari Raglan Tee/dress features raglan sleeve and has a very comfortable fit. But in my eyes this is not a regular raglan pattern, not only because as always the fit of Laura’s patterns is spot on, but also you have some details that can be added in order to make it more special and unique for every kid. And the best part for us that have girls, is that comes with an option to make a dress!

Titchy Threads newest pattern is a raglan tee, but lifted to the next level. There are a lot of raglan tees out there, so why should you need the Safari Raglan? First (and to me most important), the fit of the tee. As in all Laura's patterns you'll find a thorough measurements table and the possibility to mix sizes in case your child doesn't fit in a regular size.

Another good reason for wanting this pattern is the range of options. You can sew a short sleeved or a long sleeved raglan, with or without pocket, and the long sleeved version also provides a really fun gadget, making puppet sleeves! It's a shirt and a toy in one! Yay!

Last but not least (at least to you girl mama's out there), the pattern does not only contains a shirt, it's also a dress! And the dress has the same options as mentioned earlier for the shirt. How about that!

It's a tee pattern with raglan sleeves but there is also the option to have it as a dress that hits just above the knee on little girls and with short/long/puppet sleeve options its definitely going in my pile of patterns I love to sew over and over!

In a Manner of Sewing
It has been worn, washed over and over and worn again and everyone compliments it (even not knowing I made it). It´s perfect for everyday wear, my daughter puts it on and out easily through the head, and I´m planning a few more for Summer and Winter with the long sleeve.

Sometimes simple goes a long way and this, my sewing friends, is another Titchy Threads pattern for life.

I loved working with this pattern. The steps were clearly written and while the pattern is a raglan, just like the rest of them, the design in the sleeves and the extra details allowed me to have a lot of fun creating something unique for my boys...

If you have never tried a Titchy Threads pattern I would highly recommend that you start with this one!

The Pattern Exam - Handmade Boy
There are tips and tricks for working with knits and how to get a custom fit. There are also examples for inspiration in the pattern. There is even a condensed version of the instructions for those who don’t need the pictures and like to print off the instructions instead of working off the computer or tablet. The pattern is rated for a confident beginner and I agree. First time with knits, this pattern is perfect for you!
